I was speaking to an electrician last year.
He told me he'd gone round to a job where bell wire had been used to power sockets, the consumer unit had no cover on it and the cables showed signs of deteriorating.
He told me because they didn't want to pay to have it all put right he just walked away. I'm not an electrician so I wondered if this was/is the right thing to do.
I know Gas people will turn off the supply but I guess it's not that easy with electrics apart from pulling the main fuse but people will bridge that in reality.
Just wondering what others would do?
